Many of us, as supporters of Barack Obama, were kicked in the gut by the debate. It hurts like hell, and has knocked the collective wind out of us. This is clear in the pain and outrage expressed in our post-debate diaries and comments. And this is normal.

Yesterday much of the traditional media coverage seemed to ignore the injustice of the debate. Today, we see that Barack’s  lead is plunging:
Gallup Daily: Clinton Moves Within 3 Points of Obama

This is likely to continue for several days. And then what can we expect?

Al Gore was sullied by association with the Clinton whitehouse, ultimately this may have cost him the presidency. BO should not chance this as VP under HRC. He'd be taking a large risk just having her as his VP.

As soon as a Clinton is on the Fall democratic ticket, the Republican sewage will start to flow at full volume. They are sitting on the Giustra-Kazakhstan affair Clinton Campaign Bought and Paid for, there's a new item that's emerged from a right-wing canadian website Former Clinton Official Named as Russian Dupe, not to mention all the old stuff A Clinton Scandal Primer. Google 'Clinton scandal' if you've the time. What new muck might occur in the future, for "a tiger can't change it's stripes"?

BO would have to vet the Clinton's very carefully before taking HRC on as VP. Once in the whitehouse he'd have to keep a very close watch at least on Bill. BO should not run as HRC's VP.
